About Alicia
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
As a young woman, I used to care for children of various family members.. Then I raised my own two daughters and they are now well adjusted and highly productive young adults. I have also been a Spanish Teacher in public and private schools and worked for a pre school child care program in Pennsylvania for a year. My personal philosophy about child rearing is simple THOSE CARING FOR THEM MUST CREATE A STIMULATING ENVIRONMENT. This translates into all sorts of activities, anything from music-based and role-play enrichment to quiet time- reading and singing :o) Socialization is also key, including bringing "special friends" to visit at home and play dates. Physical based activities that involves grown-ups MUST also be considered ! Enjoying what we DO is essential to satisfaction and thus, success :o)

We've only been working with Alicia for a few months, but we feel totally confident in her care of our son. When she started with our family it was right when I was going back to work and our son was not quite three months old, but I felt assured she would above all things keep him safe and happy. She has done that every day, along with helping him through activities to promote his growth and curiosity. She is always on time and very reliable and sends pictures/videos throughout their day together. I truly feel that she cares about our child and I go to work and I don't worry.
